Golden Train Teaser Pt. 1

Auto starts

Milhouse: What’s your next thrilling international adventure, Uncle Norbert?
Lisa: Yes, what culturally significant artifact will you be stealing from exploited natives to sell to the highest bidder?
Norbert: “The Golden Train”! Forged in Babylonia five thousand years ago.
Lisa: That’s silly. Babylonians didn’t have trains.
Norbert: Exactly. So either aliens gave them a choo choo, or someone did a “Back to the Future III”.
Milhouse: Both plausible!

Milhouse: Uncle Norbert, you’re sending Springfielders to find clues to the whereabouts of the Golden Train.
Milhouse: But, shouldn’t you be doing that yourself? I mean, you’re the swashbuckling adventurer.
